tarantulas on koh samui, thailand?

[ornata]

hello

does anyone know if it is possible to find any Ornithoctoninae on the island of koh samui, located in south east Thailand?

It is Thailands third largest island and lies very near the main land!
(sorry about the english)

There is a species known as Ornithoctonus sp. "Koh Samui" so i guess it's from there?

Also, the dwarf species Yamia sp."Koh Samui"
